HE MEANS BUSINESS. Every declaration
of President Cleveland indicates that lie

vision. 1t is related that when the students
of the University of Virginia, fanked by
the Democratic Congressman from that
State, waited on the President Saturday
and invited him to attend the commence.
ment at the University ON the 9th of June,
he said he would go provided Congress ad.
journed by that date. Congressman Geo.
D. Wise expressed the hope that Congress
would adjourn by that date, and then
asked the Preside if he wanted adjourn
ment before the surplus was reduced The
President is quoted as quickly responding
mo, indeed; would rather have you stay
there till doomsday than fail to do thatni
In other words, he would fight it out on
that line if it takes all summer. This is
the spirit which should animate every
Democratic Congressman.

PEDDLERs.

In the House Saturday, the bill to amend
section SO of chapter 450 of Acts of 1888
'84, in regard to the tax on peddlers, came
up on its third reading. This bill provides
that sfor the privilege of peddling or bar
tering in any county or corporation there
shall be paid three hundred dollars for each
person or agent SO engaged or employed
when he travels on foot, and where he ped
dies otherwise than on foot the tax paid
shall be .fUe hundred dollars, except the
tax on peddlers of lightning rods, which
shall be fifty dollars. Any person who de-
sires to obtain license under this section
to sell throughout the State may be allow
ed to do SO upon the payment of one thou
sand dollars.''
Mr.. Echols asked if under this bill farm
| eli who butchered meat of his own raising
and sold it to his neighbors and the people
| of the towns would be taxed as peddlers.
Mr.. Pollard said that point was fully
covered in this bill. The farmers were pro-
| tected.
Mr.. Anderson, of Rock bridge, offered an
amendment to provide that nothing in the
bill should be construed so as to prohibit
any farmer from selling his butchered meat,
farm products, and livestock without a
| license.
The bill was extensively discussed and
eventually recommitted to the Committee
on Finance.

LEGISLATURE.

On Tuesday in the Senate, as the first
matter of unfinished business came up the
preamble and joint resolution offered by Mr..
Cornett on Monday directing the Virginia
senators and requesting her representatives
in Congress to have what is known az the
Blair bill passed.
Mr.. Williams offered the following sub.
stitute, and said he hoped it would be
adopted, and that there would be no more
clap-trap political debate on SO important a
subject:
Resolue0, That the senators from Vir-
ginia be instructed, and the members of the
House of Representatives in Congress from
Virginia be requested, to vote for Federal
aid to public free schools, and to support
the measure commonly known as the Blair
bill, or some other better measure.
After further discussion the substitute
was adopted by the recorded vote of "a te
Q, and MIR. Duane, and one or two Othe,
Republicans who were in the cloak-room,
stated afterward that had they been pres

In the House on Wednesday, the Senate
joint resolution instructing our senators
and requesting our representatives. in Con
gress to support the Blair bill came up.
| Mr.. Waddili moved to amend by striking
out the words ''or some other better mea
sure"
Mr.. Waddill (Rep. insisted that the mea
sure proposed to be advanced had been de-
feated for four years under the pretext Of
something better; that the Blair bill was
good enough, and that to go after some
thing else was to scatter their forces and &c
out on boundless sea, the legitimate re
suits of which would be to get nothing. He
claimed that the Blair bill gave to the
South the lions share of the money ap
propriated, and that it was just what was
wanted. He concluded by saying that the
| last Congress under the lead of a promi-
nent Virginian had supported bill known
as the Crane bill, and in that way had help
ed to defeat the Blair bill.
Mr.. Echols in replying to Mr.. Waddill
| said: regret very much to see that the
gentleman from Henrico is endeayoring to
make this question political one, although
in the resolution as formerly drawn it was
declal ed that both parties-Dsmocratic and
Republican-werei in favor of it. During
the last canvass, however, when he was
shrieking around on the hustings, he accus-
toned himself to this style of oratory in hi,
efforts to make the people believe that the
Blair Educational bill was political meas
ure. He cites as instances of Democratic
opposition to this bill, the Hon. john G
Carlisle and Others and says that the Hon
John w. Daniel was opposed to it by dsclar
ing for something better. l desire to ask
the gentleman why he did not give Johr

to it, and is now his candidate for President
of the United States. ask him to tell thi:

THE STATE DEBT.
Mr.. Bibb's resolution for the appointment

stitute that the Finance Committee be in

Father McGlynn, of New. York, has
been silenced as priest and summoned
to Rome, to appear before the pope, to
answer the charge of participating in pO-
litical affairs, and entertaining views on
the land question in opposition to the
head of the church. This Is a serious
question, and the result will be watch
ed with interest. The Roman church
claims the right to govern its subject,
and mould their belief, but we believe
that the church is undertaking too great
task when it assumes to govern the
political opinions of its priests and
members, as these opinions are not in
conflict with good morals, and the en-
tertaining of them does not tend to de-
grade the person who holds them, in
the eyes of the public. A mans politi-
cal belief is his own, and he has the un-
disputed right to its enjoyment without
being harrassed by either pope OF
church. Of course clergyman may so
engage in politics as to become obnox-
ious and lose his influence for good, but
this is not the case in the present
instance. Father McGlynn, when not
engaged in his labOrs as pastor, work
ed for the election of his friend, Henry
George, to a political office, and for this
the pope has sent forth an edict silenc.
ing him.-IOledO Herald.

Both Gas and Oil.

On Sunday, December 26th, at O'Clock,
gas was struck in the Wauseon we'll, at a depth
of 2130 feet, but the vein was not strong
though the flames from three-inch tube, at
a distance of 20 feet from the hole rose up
some four or five feet, when lighted. On
Monday the drills were put down four feet
deeper and then sand-pumped. This brought
a fine quality of oil. resembling somewhat
the celebrated Mecca Lubricating oil. This
good news spread everywhere and a constant
stream of visitors have been going and COM
ing ever since. On Tuesday the oil rose over
800 feet in the hole, while the gas remained
fully as strong as when first discovered. The
drillers again sunk the hole about feet low
er and the work was discontinued.
The facts in regard to the real indications
for gushing oil well, are kept quiet and the
gas is kept constantly lighted to prevent any
investigation by outside parties.
Everybody talks oil and gas and all sorts
of rumors in reference thereto are ahoat.
We have sufficient inklings from one source
and another, however, to say that it will be a
bonanza oil we'll for the Fuel Company, and
we have reason to believe that it will prove a
flowing well when pumped out and shot,
which will be done at once. That there is
oil beneath US is positive and we shallnot be
surprised to see Wauseon dotted with der
ricks within six months and consequent
boom in everything. Wduseon Tribune.
